Subtropical Marine Low Clouds and Surface WindDistributions

This book is designed to represent subtropical marine
stratus and
stratocumulus (MSC) and surface winds in a simple but
physical
consistent way, which has applications in climate
modeling and
offshore wind energy development. A simple low cloud
cover
scheme is developed in Chapter 2, in which the
variation of MSC is
formulated by connecting low cloud amount with
lower tropospheric stability (LTS), large-scale
subsidence, and
dynamical transport of available dry inhibition
energy below trade
wind inversion. The new scheme produces realistic
seasonal and
inter-annual variations of MSC amounts and
systematically reduces
the NCAR CAM3.1 model biases as shown in Chapter 3.
The lower
troposphere available thermal inhibition energy is
also shown in
Chapter 4 to be a skillful predictor in diagnosing
MSC in monthly
and seasonal time-scales. The influence of MSC, ocean
SST, and
large-scale divergence on surface wind probability
distribution are
addressed in Chapter 5 using satellite observations
and a simple
stochastic model, which can successfully reproduce
the observed
mean, the standard deviation, and skewness of surface
wind speeds
in the southeast Pacific.
